I am sorry to inform you all of some really sad news. Norman Crawford, who was a General Manager with Value the Person Training and Development Company, passed away last week (Monday, 18th January, 2010).

Personally, I will always remember Norman because he was such a lovely, lovely man. He was so easy and interesting to be with - although I have to confess that Norman and I shared a love of all kinds of sports and so we would enjoy sharing our shockingly biased views of current sporting events.

Professionally, Norman leaves a legacy because he had an incredible impact on so many people's lives in his capacity of mentor, trainer and consultant. All of us in Value the Person would do well to strive to follow Norman's example of putting people first and doing the best for others, even when no one else is aware.

I am sure that all of us that knew him will miss him greatly and pass on our sincere condolences to his wife, Val, and his three daughters he loved so much.
